Thus heat energy carried...

Great pumps are used to suck up cold water, 40º F., through a mile-long tube from the bottom of Matanzas Bay. Warm surface water, 80º F., rushes through other pipes into a large vacuum tank. When a liquid is kept under low pressure, it will boil at temperatures much lower than 212º F. The pressure in the vacuum tank, Dr. Claude explained, is low enough to cause the 80º surface water to boil, give...
